as per title, looking for a GNT10 adapter for my N2K system cheers V.

evening all, my mate with a Geonav11C came back, last time was a broken NMEA+ in pin on the plotter socket, now he says cannot get a fix. Tried it here with the other NMEA0183 antenna I had spare, takes an awful lot of time to get a fix, hope it's going to work, so I bet it's the mushroom. Is...

As per the title, friend bought a 20yo sun odysey 26 with a dead 1gm10 and he told me he's going to order a new one. Thought it's out of production tbh hence asking.. Wonder what would be a more "modern" option to suggest to him. Cheers V

OK, title is trying to describe the issue, obvs not enough, so bear with me. mobo is twin screw on shafts, hull is plywood on iroco frames, built in 74-75, 24V. Existing el.panel restored, lots of useless wiring removed, working fine (he says!) All through-hulls are GRP (Tru-design). Boat is...

more yanmar 2GMF filter leak issues... focusing now on leaking bleeding nut on top of the engine mounted original filter. As part of my monitoring setup, I've replaced the bleeding screw with a pressure sender. works fine, but have made bleeding rather complicated and it's not right. So tried...

evening all, new issue with my generator 2GMF... Used to be able to start it at say 1500-1800rpm from cold (so less than half throttle). over the last month it developed a habit of catching, running for a few secs and dying. Can do that half a dozen times unless I pull up the governor to almost...

sorry, not particularly helpful title, but after almost two years of service, last week following a slight power failure, it fired up ok, serves an influxDB from a wireless connection of the BMS raspberry pi 24/7, wont serve at all a wireless connection to the boat win10laptop and occasionally...

OK, just an info/warning for anyone playing with them. Got two FOTEK (knockoffs) SSR-40DD which means solid state relay, 40A DC trigger, DC used to run the el. lift pump and the starter on my generator. They are driven at 3V3 from a teensy (arduino like thingie). FOTEK specs say 3-32VDC input...

hello all, not really boaty, got an old but much loved Alessi electric espresso machine (type RS03) which is the only one wife wants to use. Well, after 20+ yrs it's getting on a bit. Latest failure is that an o-ring type (but not quite) gasket sealing the group head to the body split a bit on...

hello all, this was left rotting in the boatyard for over 20yrs. Owner passed away, no relatives, no one paying fees, taking space. Yard owner wanted it out, so ripped engine (Petters)/shaft/prop (the only bits that he can sell back and recoup his losses) and a friend took it over to...

hi all, doing a small mod in my yanmar 2GMF generator exhaust pipework. Want to introduce a circa 70deg elbow to keep it clear of the main engine Φ125mm exhaust while keeping it low so that water cannot siphon back into the engine. Anyway, cannot seem to find 45mm OD SS tubing, either...

got a couple of these, one for discharging black water tank to sea, other as a emergency bilge pump with a 3way manifold to take water from cabin/engroom/lazzarette. These are bloody expensive pumps 900euro each I see, which I got in ebay many yrs ago for a couple of hundred quid iirc. Service...

no need to flame me :rolleyes: heard a discussion of a truckdriver (and boat owner) with a boaty friend of mine. Truckdriver says that he adds a couple of pastilles (small circa 10mm balls really iirc from my youth!) for every 100lt of diesel as a diesel bug prevention measure. TBH I didn't...

304Ah 24V bank on board now for 10days, testing various things and learning the behaviour of this tech. First Q to ppl who already use them for some time: How often do you get them to top balance level of charge? I mean I've set them up to start top balancing at 3.45V per cell, I don't really...

hi, ready to fit the battery bank onboard (waiting for ever for some tiny chips to arrive from all over the place!), should have connected and working by the w/e One issue that needs some thought is charging/discharging policy What I mean, when on board in the summer, I may need 150Ah (out of...

good morning, have finally concluded home testing on a 304Ah 24V LiFePO4 battery bank with diyBMS controller and shunt, bought a BlueSea contactor and a Class-T fuse, so ready to move the lot onboard. Now, charging sources are 3, two of them are sorted as they are a Victron MPPT solar charger...

came across this guy, has done / is doing amazing rebuilts from plain scrap, have a look if you have some free time (I put these videos in X2 speed, works fine :D and this:

evening all, one for Jonathan I guess... obvs everyone is free to suggest :) right, 43ft f/b mobo 12odd tons. East Med setting, 99% of anchoring done on reasonably protected bays with a 18-20mm floating rope tied back to the rocks. Water depths between 4-8m (as in drop at 8m, reverse to...

good afternoon, a friend had some issues with his GEONAV 11C (that at the end turned out to be vertigris on the power cable with screen flashing in and out) Today I swapped cables with a spare he had, plotter is fine working on my bench power for 5h, so call that fixed. Problem is that he...
